About 10 Indians from across the line,
passed through Bottineau yesterday. They
are on their way down to the reservation
to share in the feast of good things which
the good father at Washington provides for
these very deserving wards Of the hation.
They will probably wend their way back
in the fall and become again the recipients
Of the bounty Of Sir Johh's p~aternal gov
ernment. All the dogs in town of course
had a good ho&ling time as the Blhhkety
beauties passed by.

Bank, and party, arrived here late last
night and after taking supper at the depo,
dining room, were driven direct to the
penitentiary. Mrs. Harper, her sister
Miss Matthews, and their father were OF
the party. Harper and his wife displayed
the greatest composure under the circum-
stances and talked up to the time when
the ladies were ready to depart, when an
informal good night was SAID and Mrs.
Harper proceeded to an hotel. Mr..
Matthews showed deep emotion at part
ing and cried like child. Harper was
then taken into the guard room and
searched. He had 1852 In money
which he placed with some
change in his pocket book and
patted it farewell. After this formslity,
Harper was assigned to cell ia, block l,
range l, where the cells are quite large
and airy. His serial number is 1927
With good behavior he can make two and
half years on his sentence. In taking his
leave OF the reporters he stated that he
did not expect to be in prison long and
this idea seemed to cheer him as well IS
his wife, neither Of whom expressed any
emotion from the time of their arrival till
they parted for the night.
